　　第二部分：阅读理解(共25小题，每题2分，满分50分)

　　A

　　It is easy for us to tell our friends from our enemies. But can other animals do the same? Elephants can! They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not.

　　In Kenya, researchers found that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups. Young Maasai men spear animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants.

　　In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man. When the elephants detected the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they detected the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all.

　　Garment color also plays a role, though in a different way. In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men. Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing.

　　The researchers believe that the elephants’ emotional reactions are due to their different interpretations of the smells and the sights. Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide. Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low. Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive.

　　41. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Kamba and Maasai people?

　　A. Maasai people are a threat to elephants.

　　B. Kamba people raise elephants for farming.

　　C. Both Kamba and Maasai people are elephant hunters.

　　D. Both Kamba and Maasai people traditionally wear red clothing.

　　42. How did the elephants react to smell in the study?

　　A. They attacked a man with the smell of new clothing.

　　B. They needed time to relax when smelling something unfamiliar.

　　C. They became anxious when they smelled Kamba-scented clothing.

　　D. They were frightened and ran away when they smelled their enemies.

　　43. What is the main idea of this passage?

　　A. Elephants use sight and smell to detect danger.

　　B. Elephants attack people who wear red clothing.

　　C. Scientists are now able to control elephants’ emotions.

　　D. Some Kenyan tribes understand elephants’ emotions very well.

　　B

　　The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths(神话，想象) about it than any of the other illnesses.

　　The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.　

　　At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping(滴干) wet in drafty(通风的) rooms.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

　　If cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? In spite of the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

　　No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.

　　44.The fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds shows that .

　　A.colds are really full of myths

　　B.viruses are the factors causing colds

　　C.colds are more severe than other illnesses

　　D.the idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up

　　.The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 made it clear that .

　　A.being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body

　　B.taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired

　　C.it was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds

　　D.people who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily

　　46.According to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because .

　　A.there is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature

　　B.viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter

　　C.staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on

　　D.people are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter

　　.What does the passage mainly discuss?

　　A.The reason and the way people catch colds.

　　B.The continued spread of colds.

　　C.The experiments on colds.

　　D.The myths about colds.

　　After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.

　　During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.

　　I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

　　Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:

　　Dear Dick,

　　My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.

　　I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

　　Your friend,

　　Matthew

　　Cyberspace, the connections between computers in different places, considered as a real place where information, messages and pictures exist, mirrors the real world in many ways. People ask for information, play games, and share hobbies. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.

　　Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen.Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace.Rather, a person’s thoughts----or at least the thoughts they type-----are what really count.So even the shyest person can become a chat room star.

　　Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems.Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies.In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation.Where else can so many people come together to chat? But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with.They’re looking for serious love relationships.Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask.Some of these relationships actually succeed.Others fail miserably.

　　Supporters of online relationships state that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first.Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace.Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them.Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give.And they don’t have to worry about what their “nonverbal” communication is doing for their image.In a sense, they’re not really themselves.

　　All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace.But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship.With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person.How someone imagines an online friend is often quite more different than the real person.So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”

　　52.According to the passage, chatting in the cyberspace .

　　A.stresses more about people’s identity

　　B.needs people to be rich in knowledge

　　C.puts emphasis on people’s thoughts

　　D.allows people to discuss politics secretly

　　.People who are against online dating think .

　　A.what is said online is under control of the Internet

　　B.one may not show the real self in cyberspace

　　C.the faceless communication is conservative

　　D.it is hard to protect the other’s identity

　　.By saying “With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination ‘fill in the blanks’”, the writer means that .

　　A.people may be disappointed when they meet in person

　　B.the Internet makes it easy for people to imagine how others view them

　　C.the Internet allows people to get more information about their loved ones

　　D.people usually get to know each other by chance through the Internet

　　.We can infer from the last paragraph that Clifford .

　　A.demands to develop the computer system

　　B.believes it hopeless to find love online

　　C.encourages people to enjoy modern life

　　D.supports to look for love in the real life

　　Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower’s place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell.

　　Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans that he’d never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend.

　　The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship.

　　In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then.

　　“There’s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts.” The Miller said to his wife, “When people are in trouble they shouldn’t be bothered. So I’ll wait till the spring comes when he’s happy to give me flowers.”

　　“You’re certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “It’s quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.”

　　“Couldn’t we ask Hans up here?” said their son. “I’ll give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.”

　　“How silly you are!” cried the Miller. “I really don’t know what’s the use of sending you to school. If Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody’s nature. I am his best friend, and I’ll always watch over him, and see that he’s not led into any temptation. Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn’t be confused. The words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. Everybody can see that.” He looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tears.

　　Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans. Again he talked about friendship. “Hans, friendship never forgets. I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life. See, how lovely your roses are!”

　　Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter.

　　“I’ll give you many good things. I think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the Miller. “And now, as I’ll give you many good things, I’m sure you’d like to give me some flowers in return. Here’s the basket, and fill it quite full.”

　　Poor Hans was afraid to say anything. He ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller’s basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller.

　　The next day he heard the Miller calling: “Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?”

　　“I’m sorry, but I am really very busy today.”

　　“Well,” said the Miller, “considering that I’m going to give you my things, it’s rather unfriendly of you to refuse. Upon my word, you mustn’t mind my speaking quite plainly to you.”

　　Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted.

　　One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came.

　　“Hans,” cried the Miller, “My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I’m going for the Doctor. But he lives so far away, and it’s such a bad windy night. It has just occurred to me that you can go instead of me. You know I’m going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me in return.”

　　“Certainly,” cried Hans. He struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the Miller’s house in time to save the boy. However, Hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a deep pool, drowned.

　　At Hans’ funeral, the Miller said, “I was his best friend. I should walk at the head of the procession.” Every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

　　56. From the passage, we can learn that Hans ___________.

　　A. was extremely wise and noble B. was highly valued by the Miller

　　C. admired the Miller very much D. had a strong desire for fortune

　　57. “Flour is one thing, and friendship is another” can be understood as ___________.

　　A. “Different words may mean quite different things.”

　　B. “Interest is permanent while friendship is flexible.”

　　C. “I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life.”

　　D. “I think being generous is the base of friendship.”

　　58. From the Miller’s talk at home, we can see he was ___________.

　　A. serious but kind B. helpful and generous

　　C. caring but strict D. selfish and cold-hearted

　　59. What’s the main cause of Hans’ tragedy?

　　A. True friendship between them. B. A lack of formal education.

　　C. A sudden change of weather. D. Blind devotion to a friend.

　　60. The author described the Miller’s behavior in order to ___________.

　　A. entertain the readers with an incredible joking tale

　　B. show the friendship between Hans and the Miller

　　C. warn the readers about the danger of a false friend

　　D. persuade people to be as intelligent as the Miller

　　A. Macau Museum

　　The Macau Museum is a historical and cultural museum with a vast number of objects of great historical value, which demonstrates the way of life and cultures of the various communities which have been inhabited the city for ages. The Macau Museum was opened on 18th April 1998, consisting of two underground levels and a third one above the fortress' top platform where the old Meteorological Services is housed. The architectural character and special configuration of the architecture has been retained and preserved.

　　B. Maritime Museum

　　If the history of Macau is really connected to the sea, there is no better place for the Maritime Museum, than the Square of the Barra Pagoda, dedicated to the Taoist goddess "A-MA", the protector of fishermen, and also believed to be the place where the Portuguese first landed. The precise spot is where the Maritime Museum is located, the building is in the shape of a sailing ship anchored in the waters of the Inner Harbour.

　　C. Wine Museum

　　This 1400 square-metre space is pided into a number of areas (Historical information/Wine Cellar/Museum and Exhibitions), using maps, texts, photos, tiles and videos, among other things to relate the history of wine. The aim of each section is not only to provide information regarding wine and grapevines, but also to recreate the atmosphere of the production of wine, showing the visitor the modern and traditional tools connected to wine production.

　　D. Grand Prix Museum

　　Opened 1993 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Macau Grand Prix, which features a number of automobile and motorbike races and takes place every year in November. It started in 1954 due to the enthusiasm of a group of Macau residents and the support of the authorities. Today it is an international sports event that attracts thousands of tourists and racing enthusiasts to Macau, to watch the classic "Guia Race" and the "Formula 3 Grand Prix". As it takes place on a street circuit, which inevitably leads to a comparison with Monte Carlo, the Macau Grand Prix has been developing into a race that, due to the exactness and the need for precision which it imposes on the drivers, has had the participation of great names of the motor racing participating and which has also served as a launching platform for many other names, the visitor will certainly recognize while visiting the Grand Prix Museum.

　　E. Macau Museum of Art

　　Under the management of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau, the Macau Museum of Art is the only art museum in Macau, and provides the largest space dedicated to visual arts. It is situated in the Cultural Centre of Macau in the Outer Harbour area, and was inaugurated on 19 March 1999, with a total area of more than 10,000 square meters and expositive capacity of almost 4,000 square meters. The artistic works and cultural artifacts include Chinese Calligraphy and Paintings, Seals, Ceramics, Copperwares, Western paintings, Contemporary Arts, Photography artworks, and other significant collections.

　　F. Handover Gifts Museum of Macau

　　The Handover Gifts Museum of Macau is located next to the Macau Cultural Centre in Avenida Xian Xing Hai (NAPE). The location of the Museum is also the area that was used for the Handover Ceremony on 20th December 1999 in which Macau was returned to the Mainland. When the hall was dismantled after the ceremony the area became part of the Macau Cultural Centre. The Handover Gifts Museum of Macau was opened December 2004. The main aim of the Museum is to commemorate the handover for its significance in Macau's modern history. The inauguration of the Museum on the 5th anniversary of the handover is also indeed significant and momentous.

　　Dear editor,

　　I am a high school student. A few days before, one of my good friend told me that he was going to stop school. He said that he wanted to start his own’s business. I tried my best to get him to change his mind, and failed. I realize it is difficult of me to change his mind. He is not doing so good in his studies. The process is more important than the result is. Now there are only 90days being left before the test. I am not sure his decision is right or wrong. I needed your advice.
